…The drone-in-a-box offering is a variation on the robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. Waltham, Mass.-based American Robotics said the partnership will position it as a leader in the competitive oil and gas industry, where the market for drones could reach $23.9 billion by 2027. The company and ICI said they plan to release their combined technology in 2023. A member of MassRobotics, American Robotics designs, develops, and markets industrial drones for rugged, real-world environments. It said the Scout System is a highly automated, AI-powered system capable of continuous, remote operation. American Robotics claimed that Scout is the first drone system approved…

…Like many robotics companies, Locus Robotics uses a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) business model. That means companies can request more robots being brought in during a certain time of a year and return them once they are done. These autonomous systems are often called “surge robots” or “peak robots,” Zate said. Despite slowing economy, online shopping drives automation While e-commerce has slowed a bit, it will continue to greatly influence how supply chain operates, said Zate. That theory is helped by the fact that during the pandemic, more industries began offering their products online, he added. “I don’t think we are going…

…“Digital Surgery-as-a-Service” (DSaaS), similar to the software-as-a-service or robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model, largely in response to unmet hospital needs. “Because the pandemic wreaked havoc on hospital profits with elective surgeries being postponed, we had to pivot our business model from hospitals paying upfront for capital equipment to 'as a service,'” stated Bruce Lichorowic, president and CEO of Galen Robotics. “We will be the first robotic company to launch using an on-demand business model.” Galen Robotics said its DSaaS approach will “level the surgical playing field by erasing large capital expenditures associated with today’s surgical robots.” The company claimed that it is…

…partnership that will make QuickBot available through a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. QuickBot is $20 an hour, Robex provides the MiR AMR at $13.75, so Formic offers RaaS at $33.75 per hour for the total system, they said. “There's ROI from Day 1,” said Cloer. This includes training, he added. As a result, a business can bypass the typical capital expense and have QuickBot unloading pallets in its warehouse. It would only pay while the system is running, said the partners. The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) hosted AMR and Logistics Week, which was co-located with The Vision Show.

…to thousands of robots at automotive and logistics customers. RaaS and user training Customers can “hire” SIXAI's robots in a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. While larger customers such as Toyota may have a dedicated support staffer, the company said its software enables it to scale and keep costs down. “The biggest barrier to change isn't the technology, but the operations guys on the floor who don't yet see how they can be more productive,” said Poliakine. “It will take time, but we've had quite a bit of success with existing customers in factories, logistics facilities, and retail stores. “ SIXAI is…

…of trying to build non-differentiating tools in-house,” Linnell added. RaaS platform monitors ROS systems Founded in 2017, Formant said robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) providers including Canvas Technology, Blue River Technologies, and Burro have chosen its data platform. Initially released for systems using the Robot Operating System (ROS), Formant's free tier will let engineers easily monitor ROS topics and key metrics from their devices via SSH out of the box, said the company. A user can also send commands to a robot, or even enter into full teleoperation mode to remotely control the robot, all with minimal setup time, it claimed. “Formant's free…

…specific service-level agreements (SLAs), especially those with a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model. There's no denying that sorting plastics by hand is time-consuming and costly. That's why companies like ABB and AMP Robotics are working on ways to speed up the process with robots. No single approach has yet solved the problem. Industrywide adoption will take several years, but with technology evolving quickly and so many people working hard on such projects, there's little doubt that they can help recycle more plastics.

…sees the benefit or throughput.” Scaling with SaaS and RaaS inVia's robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) model complements ShipHero's software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, said the companies. “Integrating WMS and WES is like drawing back a bow—there is some tension before you can go fast,” said Barnett. “One thing that made this partnership work well is that we built a multi-tenant space. We have an SaaS division, and we are also a 3PL. We want inVia to sell to all of our own 3PL customers, and we also have to pick and pack tens of thousands of our own orders.” Not only does this reduce…
